It is only a con job.

Yes, because they will not give us the money-----

-----because he is playing a three-card trick.

We are because he is playing a three-card trick. We put down the motion in good faith.

We expect an answer or we expect the Government to oppose it.

We are bewildered by the Minister every day.

This is a farce.

A monumental farce.

I have been trying to ascertain the number of children awaiting autism spectrum disorder, ASD, places in schools in Tipperary. I salute the schools, boards of management, special needs assistants and teachers who have set up units. The Minister has said to me she has no records and the National Council for Special Education, NCSE, has them. The NCSE says it is up to the boards of management to have the figures. If the NCSE and the Department do not know how many children are waiting for these special needs places, …

I welcome the Bill. We have had more promises and announcements about oifigí poist and postmasters and postmistresses than we have had hot dinners. It is to be hoped this will be meaningful, tangible and provide real supports, rather than nice glossy brochures which tell people what they will have. Live, horse, and you will get grass. People are pushed out. As we know, postmistresses and postmasters operate on a pittance. The basic amount they get is little or nothing. They get a certain amount per transaction. The…

Just to be fair, a Cheann Comhairle, all of the Whips should be contacted.

Thanks for your forbearance, a Cheann Comhairle.

I, too, have concerns about this legislation, including the fact that is it being passed so quickly when we might have issues with the situation of the high-risk vendor or whatever wording the Government wants to use. Deputy McNamara has been a practitioner in the courts and knows more about them than I do. I would not be as loud in my praise for the Judiciary as he is. That is his entitlement. The Minister of State said that we will have recourse to the courts. Justice delayed is justice denied. There are queues o…

We in the Rural Independents are very concerned when we see advertisements from Go Vegan World on Dublin Bus and Galway city buses. This is a rural country, after all. The misleading advertisements are damaging to what has been good farming practice and husbandry over decades, and to our food chain, food supply and thousands of jobs. Who allowed for these? We are told it lies with Dublin Bus. Is the Minister for Transport or National Transport Authority responsible? Where is this craziness going to stop? Who is pay…

I had no answer.

The Taoiseach should ask the Minister for Transport, Deputy Eamon Ryan.

Corman Miloko announced on Friday that it was closing the company. This was formerly owned by south Tipperary farmers, Avonmore and Glanbia. It is now a consortium involving a Belgian group and Tirlán, an Irish company, and 31 jobs remain at the plant. They are excellent jobs and it has been an excellent workforce over the half century I have known it. I ask the Taoiseach to ask the Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment to engage with the company to see if the jobs can be saved and what other uses the plant…

I do not bear any ill will against the Minister or indeed Mr. Stone, who I believe did a lot of good work in Dublin inner city. The only problem I see is that he was ahead of his time. He was a visionary. He was for Fianna Fáil until the Minister met him in 2011, then he changed tack before Fine Gael ever decided to go into coalition with Deputy Micheál Martin. Perhaps the most alarming thing this entire saga has highlighted to us all is that the barriers that existed between political and business classes in this …

That is not-----

I do not know where it is, though.
